"Dancing with a chainsaw."

One day you are a spectator with big dreams. 

Another ...you are in the driver's seat and part of the entertainment.

You can't believe it. Your own car and your first race.

Then you understand what Cale Yarborough meant when he said, "Driving a race car is like dancing with a chainsaw."

But you did it! All of it!

The plan was to enter the race, drive two laps for experience and drop out. Make a debut for real next season. 

The reality was that when the checkered flag dropped, you were still running. You ran the whole thing!  

One race and you came in 9th in the season for your class and won $90! 

So much for waiting until next year to debut! 

I wouldn't have missed that night for the world!  

"Behold, children are a gift from the Lord."

(Psalm 127:3)
